Xihe County.

Being entangled in various affairs, Jia Gui has been busy recently and finally took a break. The first thing he did when he was free was that it was time to enjoy himself.

Jia Gui took off his official robe and put on a loose coat with long sleeves.

"Are the peach blossoms blooming at the foot of the mountain?"

Everyone responded: "The flowers are in full bloom."

Jia Gui nodded: "It's time for a spring outing."

They laughed and said: "Invite three or five close friends and enjoy the flowers while reciting poems and poems. This is the style of scholars."

The county magistrate Jia Gui took a group of people out for an outing to enjoy the flowers. The people and their families rode ox carts through the streets. Everyone had smiles on their faces, and they were in a relaxed mood.

The servants shouted in front and supported each other, and the formation looked very huge.

But before he could go out, the county magistrate led a group of people and chased him. While chasing, the county magistrate waved a document in his hand.

"The county honors you to stay. The county honors you to stay."

The motorcade stopped at the city gate, and everyone looked behind them in confusion.

Jia Gui was in a bad mood, but she could only get out of the carriage, looked at the panting county magistrate and said.

"Is there something that must be said at this time?"

The county magistrate handed over the letter and then said to Jia Gui.

"The county honor is an official document sent by the county and other counties."

"The situation is not good. There is a plague in the county and several nearby counties. Now the situation is getting worse. Maybe we have it here too but we haven't discovered it yet."

"I suggest that the city gates should be closed immediately and people inside and outside the city should be prohibited from entering and exiting."

As soon as Jia Gui heard the word "plague", his expression suddenly changed.

"plague?"

Jia Gui took the official document and took a quick look at it. After reading it, he immediately asked his servant to take his family back home quickly and said nothing more about going out for an outing.

An originally grand event ended like this.

Jia Gui returned to the official office. Jia Gui read the official document several times, but it only mentioned the outbreak of the plague, but it did not elaborate on the specific situation and how serious it was.

But since it is called a plague, it is no small matter.

But the official document stated that the plague spread from Jingu County, and the situation in Jingu County was the most serious.

At this moment, Jia Gui suddenly thought of the evil man from before. He once said that he wanted to go up the mountain to get the sacred spring because someone in Jingu County spent a lot of money to ask him to do it in order to get rid of the plague ghost.

"Plague ghost?"

Jia Gui didn't take it seriously at the time, just thinking that someone was infected with evil spirits, but he didn't expect that at this moment, he would be implicated, and even the entire county would be implicated.

The county magistrate followed Jia Gui. Seeing Jia Gui's solemn expression and being silent for a long time, he finally spoke.

"Currently, hundreds of people have been infected in Jingu County, and people in surrounding counties have also been found to be infected with the plague. This situation is also called by the locals as plague ghosts."

Jia Gui: "What are the symptoms like? Have you ever seen them?"

The county magistrate also looked frightened and continued.

"People who are haunted by plague ghosts usually suffer from unbearable abdominal pain, as if there is an evil ghost in their stomach."

"I feel so thirsty that I feel like there is an evil spirit in my stomach that has drank the water."

"I have frequent diarrhea with bright purple pus and blood, as if an evil spirit is cursing me."

"Therefore, every spring, there is a custom of catching and driving away epidemic ghosts."

Jia Gui: "We already have customs, so is it possible that this epidemic ghost still appears from time to time?"

The other party said: "This epidemic ghost occurs every year, sometimes in early spring, sometimes in summer and autumn, but sometimes there are fewer people haunted by the plague ghost, and sometimes more people are haunted by the plague ghost."

"But over the years, everyone has also discovered that as long as you don't come into contact with these people who are haunted by the plague and stay away from them, you won't be haunted by the plague."

"It will pass after a while."

Having said this, the county magistrate again talked about his previous countermeasures.

"So at this time, we should be more cautious and defensive. There are the most people in the city. If the people who are entangled by the plague ghost are allowed to enter the city, they will be in trouble."

"Your Majesty, the city gates should be closed tightly at this moment, and everyone entering and exiting should be strictly scrutinized, and the plague ghosts must not be allowed to enter the city."

"At the same time, personnel are dispatched to patrol and notices are posted. If anyone found plagued by plague ghosts is found in the city, report it immediately."

"Although there will be more trouble this year, as long as the epidemic ghost takes away those who should be taken away, everything will be fine."

Jia Gui understood a little bit, looked at the county magistrate and said.

"So catching epidemic ghosts is not really catching epidemic ghosts."

"To catch those who are haunted by the plague ghost?"

The county magistrate nodded: "Exactly."

Jia Gui asked again: "What is the ghost that drives away the epidemic?"

at last.

Jia Gui followed the county magistrate's advice and issued the order.

"Close the city gates and strictly check everyone entering and leaving."

"Order Liu Yitou to patrol and inspect the city and post notices at the same time. If there is a plague haunting anyone who hides it and fails to report it, he will be dealt with severely."

County Magistrate: "By the way, we need to invite someone over."

Jia Gui: "Who do you want to invite?"

County Magistrate: "Yin Yang Taoist."

Jia Gui: "Ask him to catch the epidemic ghost?"

County Magistrate: "No, he is the most skilled person in medicine within a hundred miles, and he is good at refining medicine and elixirs."

——

Ziyun Peak.

When the sun rises, purple haze appears on the horizon.

The old Taoist sat on the stone platform, facing the sun and took a deep breath.

Then the old man opened another box, and there was a round thing inside.

He took another pill.

"call!"

After taking the elixir, the old Taoist instantly felt a stream of heat gushing out of his Dantian, leading to the internal organs and eight meridians, and even his eyeballs were covered with bloodshot eyes.

At this moment, various scenes appeared in front of Lao Dao's eyes.

He felt like his body was floating, as if he was floating up from the stone platform and flying towards the clouds.

He heard a voice coming from the sky, accompanied by the graceful fairy music, and an immortal was calling to him, but the voice was hazy, and he couldn't hear clearly what the immortal was saying.

In the distance, Taoists Ao and He looked at the old Taoist Yin Yang going crazy, and they were no longer surprised.

Just like the old Taoist couldn't hear what the gods were saying, Taoists Ao and He in the distance couldn't hear what the old Taoist was shouting out of his mind.

Taoist Ao: "What is the Taoist master shouting?"

Taoist He: "Can't hear clearly."

Ao Taoist: "It seems so?"

The chubby Taoist listened carefully for a while and said: "It seems to be shouting, I have become...I have become?"

Taoist He was surprised: "Are you able to hold on?"

Taoist He immediately prepared to step forward: "This is not good. Could it be that the elixir cannot be dispersed and the stomach is being held up?"

The last time the elixir couldn't be dispersed, it was still a crane, so Taoist Ao poured water on it and patted its chest and rubbed its abdomen.

In the end, although the old path was intact, all the strands of immortal energy leaked out from the valley path, and all the precious elixir was wasted.

But after watching from a distance for a while, they found that nothing happened, so the two of them stood still again.

Taoist Ao: "Junior brother, is this elixir really useful? Why do I feel that the more I take this medicine, the more problems the Taoist master will have with his body!"

When Taoist Ao talked about this, he also said another thing.

"Recently, Taoist Master's body has been covered in rashes, and black spots have grown on his hands, forming hard lumps one after another."

"If this elixir is really a miraculous elixir, why do you take it like this?"

Taoist He has a high level of understanding. He has already received some true teachings from Taoist Yin and Yang, and has also begun to learn some methods of alchemy, so he spoke.

"Our sect's method of cultivating immortals focuses on refining the gods. In the end, the soul leaves the mortal body and soars into the sky."

"The human body has a breath of innate energy, which gradually spreads throughout the body. Let's refine this breath and return it to the innate energy."

"So at the end of cultivation, the body must have decayed, because the origin has been returned to the soul."

This explanation makes quite a lot of sense.

Taoist Ao asked again: "Then why don't you eat?"

Taoist He waved his hand: "My level is not high, and I am not yet at the point where I can take elixirs."

After the elixir was dispersed, Taoist Yin Yang stood up wearing a wide robe.

When he opened his eyes, his eyes were sparkling and he looked particularly energetic.

And he looks very energetic, not like an old man at all. He walks with great energy, more energetic than a young man.
